My name is Lily, I am a fully qualified Doula, Breastfeeding Specialist, Hypnobirthing Trained, NCT Antenatal Teacher and a self-proclaimed ‘Birth Nerd’! I have always had a huge interest in pregnancy and birth and worked as a nursery nurse and Nanny before having my own children. I am now a mother to three beautiful girls and live in South Devon with them and my husband. Doulas are highly trained to offer physical and emotional support as well as, evidence-based information to birthing people and the birth partner antenatally, during labour, birth and in the immediate post-natal period. With the support of a Doula many people have been able to achieve a positive birth with a reduced use of epidurals, opioid pain relief and decreased instance of medical intervention and caesarean birth.
